The apostle Paul ‘often’ worked side by side with those he was also ministering to. Hmm!
Admittedly, recognition is great. It can lead to opening many doors and avenues for success, but oftentimes the recognition is for personal benefit or ego-stroking. The heart God is trying to perfect in us is that of a servant. It is said that the heart of a servant is the sanctuary of God. Position, education, financial standing, and even age, are all irrelevant when it comes to our faith walk. As disciples we are called and commanded to go where Jesus went, and do as Jesus did – by pouring ourselves out unto others for His glory. God has given us today to make a choice as to whether we will be important or useful.
Until tomorrow…..

“What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe – as the Lord has assigned to each his task.” – I Corinthians 3:5
